I have had this car for about 2 years now I think. It was originally a 307/powerglide car with 10 bolt. I recently installed a 12 bolt, 4 speed, and 350 in place of the original drivetrain. The car is Grotto Blue and was painted about 10 years ago from conversations with the previous owner. It is a really nice driver quality paint job with some visible sanding marks and blemishes. There are not a lot of options on the car other than the exterior chrome package and the deluxe steering wheel and pedals covers. The interior is standard blue. When I bought it, it had hubcaps on it and under the hubcaps were the original rally wheels which I still have. I also still have the original 307 and power glide and 10 bolt rear. I just got the engine into the car and have been driving it some and it really runs good but I have not fine tuned things and haven't hooked up the heater hoses and things like that. It also needs a larger radiator, the original just isn't going to keep up with the bigger engine . Rear gears are 3:73:1 and the 12 bolt was a limited slip at one time but has an open setup in it currently. The engine is a CE coded 350 from 1970-1971 (can't recall the exact date) and is a 4 bolt block. It is .60 over with eagle rods and an eagle crank. JE pistons and 67cc heads with the large valves. The cam is a 30-30 solid lift unit from Comp and it has a 600 cfm holley on it. It runs real nice. Manual drums, manual steering. 16,500 like it is or 12,500 with the original drivetrain components. I don't know why anyone would want to put it back the way it came but I have the stuff if that's what cranks your tractor.. my email is [email protected] or call 256 5o8 132I
